Simple Vegan Tofu with Rice and Soy Sauce Recipe

My vegan fried rice with tofu!

Cooking Vegan with Minimal Ingredients

Sometimes you look in your fridge and it feels like the inside of an empty igloo in a barren frozen tundra. It had been a hectic few weeks and I had not gone food shopping but had a hungering for carbohydrates and protein when I woke up at 11:30 AM Saturday morning. (it was a late night!) I needed a hearty meal and felt like skipping breakfast to go straight to lunch.

I looked around my kitchen and decided that my last remaining block of extra firm tofu would be a solid protein source and struck gold with an unopened container of long grain texmati rice. This block of tofu was destined for greatness. Tofu fried rice was on the menu today! I boiled the rice for about 15 minutes as my diced tofu was frying in olive oil with chopped up onion, salt, pepper and a touch of paprika and turmeric for flavor. Luckily, i had packets of soy sauce leftover from a previous delivered meal and used the packets instead of buying a bottle of soy sauce. The meal was simple, filling and I even had leftovers which i enjoyed later on.
